We want to design and produce new types of musical instruments and create new capabilities of performing with the instruments for musicians and an experience of witnessing the performance for live audience.Three types of instruments to be designed are Tonal, Percussive and an Open type.
INSPIRATION
Rethink and redesign the traditional Chinese instrument translated to objects that familiar with model instruments but contain its original sense as well.
FORM
The form should be easy to carry around for usage.
FUNCTION
We designed three devices; the target user will range from professional music players to music beginners.

NO.1 Mini Guzhen/古筝
We get inspiration from traditional Chinese instrument Guzhen. This prototype is a condensed and modern version of Guzhen. People can carry it without too much trouble, and its mini size won't reduce the quality of sound.

NO.2 Xun/埙
An egg-shaped flute. Also could be served as the percussion instrument. NO.3 Shakers
3D printed shakers, a friendly instrument for people who do not have the music background but also like to have fun with rhythm. |
